The location was good and the cost was reasonable. A good place to stay without many frills. I liked the full sized refrigerator and the kitchenette. Will definitely consider this place for our next stay in Houghton.

Didnt know there was no maid service. The key from the app didnt work-had to wait for an employee to let us in. The tub is incredibly slippery!! This needs to be addressed. No coffee or water in the lobby. Clean rooms, but overall not impressed

Nice place
New place. Looked very nice. Didn’t have a ton of rooms which made it less busy. Could hear people talking at times. Bed was firm. Spacious bathroom. Great kitchen area in room. Not a lot of parking right out from (all handicapped)- had to park on side of building. Friendly staff. Had a few packaged food items could grab for breakfast. Would stay here again.

The room I had was like a bachelor apartment, with kitchen, medium sized fridge and lots of room. Very clean and newish room. It's not near downtown or the water but it was also much cheaper than the alternatives. The nearby Walmart was good for stocking up.

What I didn't like was that we were on the 2nd floor and had to lug suitcases/cooler up the stairs, It was hard for me to help my husband as I have a bad leg. What I did like about it was that on the 2nd floor there's no pets allowed. I don't think pets belong in hotels unless they're service dogs. (just my opinion)
